Subject: URGENT RESPOND AND CALL ME
Dear Friend,
I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of Africa,
Ouagadougou . I decided to contact you after a careful thought that you
may
be capable of handling this business transaction which i explained
below;
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $27.5m US dollars
(twenty-seven million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account
that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire
family
in 2003 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that
his
supposed next of kin(his son and wife) died alongside with him at the
plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim .
It is therefore upon this discovery that I have now decided to make
this
business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of
kin (I
want to present you as his busines asociate )to the deceased for safety
and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want
this
money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained
Unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the
Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in
this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner .
We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside
for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account
as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the
deceased
customer. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or
email the
text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this
transaction is risk free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear
as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
I expect that you contact me immediately as soon as you receive this
letter.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
DR .seyes campury.
Accounts & Audit Department ,
Bank of Africa. you can call on this line 76003324
Nb.also give me your telephone and fax numbers for easy comunication
with
you.
